Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
TOI-4552 b: A new ultra-short period rocky world revealed by NIRPS and TESS
Avidaan Srivastava, René Doyon, François Bouchy +57
A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare a…
Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs
Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65
The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…
NIRPS tightens the mass estimate of GJ 3090 b and detects a planet near the stellar rotation period
Pierrot Lamontagne, Drew Weisserman, Charles Cadieux +148
We present an updated characterization of the planetary system orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf GJ 3090 (TOI-177; pc), based on new high-precision radial velocity (RV) observa…
